A dependent variable is a variable whose value depends upon independent variable s. The dependent variable is what is being measured in an experiment or evaluated in a mathematical equation. The dependent variable is sometimes called the outcome variable.. In a simple mathematical equation, for example: a = b/c. the dependent variable, a, is determined by the values of b and c.
Honey and Pregnancy. Pregnant women can safely eat honey. An adult's intestines are more acidic than a baby's and contain beneficial bacteria that prevent the spores from developing into botulism-causing bacteria. Adults -- including pregnant women -- are frequently exposed to botulism spores without becoming ill.
Don't give your baby any honey before she's a year old, even if it's to treat a cough. This is because honey can, very occasionally, contain a spore of a bacterium called clostridium botulinum. This can cause a rare form of food poisoning (botulism) in babies. If your baby has botulism, he may start to show symptoms around eight hours to 36 hours after eating honey.
